First class preorder meal.
We’re flying out of IAH to MSP first class, we’re supposed to receive an email letting us preorder our meals. I’ve read that it would be a week to 3 days before departure yet I haven’t received anything. Our flight is on the 12th. Are they letting FC passengers preorder meals like they do for D1? What has been your experience?

Flying GEG-MSP today and handed the dreaded Box of crap. The “Bakery Box” consisted of a tiny stale muffin, almonds, almond butter, granola, and some weird nut strips. This sheit is ridiculous. Enough wit the cost cutting Delta!

[The way it reads, it seems like the muffin size is part of the complaint.]

To expect the standardized product to be delivered at any cost is not reasonable.
Last, I don't really undersand the distinction between money hungry company, and shareholder advocate or capitalist--is one different, or better or worse than another?

Food pitching should be by flight number. Anytime your showing plated food and providing a box is an example of deceptive marketing.

D1 from CDG
Anyone with recent D1 flights from CDG? What's on the menu?

Marketing should reflect the actual product, as these details influence my purchasing decision. If the price from main to first class was negligible, I wouldn’t care. But when the difference is hundreds of dollars, details and setting the proper expectation matters.
Anything less is truly deceptive.
